During their work on ProjectSidewalk/SidewalkWebpage, Jules focused on backend and database improvements to enhance performance, privacy, and maintainability. They refactored the clustering workflow by introducing Slick-based bulk inserts in Scala, reducing database round-trips and streamlining attribute processing for both user-specific and global data. Jules also addressed privacy concerns by updating queries to exclude anonymous users, ensuring data correctness. On the frontend, they improved route calculation accuracy by leveraging complete street data and refining direction handling with JavaScript and mapping libraries. Their contributions resulted in faster workflows, improved scalability, and a cleaner codebase, demonstrating depth in backend and data management.

February 2025: Delivered a major performance optimization for clustering attributes and results in SidewalkWebpage. Refactored AttributeController to perform bulk inserts for user attributes and labels, and migrated clustering result processing to Slick-based bulk inserts for user-specific and global data, yielding significant reductions in DB round-trips and easier maintenance. Minor code quality improvements were completed (e.g., import order cleanup) with no high-severity bugs fixed. Overall impact: faster attribute clustering workflows, improved scalability for larger datasets, and clearer data access patterns. Technologies demonstrated: Scala, Slick, bulk insert patterns, and refactoring for maintainability.
